Dennis - If you are looking for copies of manuals for your agricultural equipment, the Special Collections Department at the University of California at Davis has one of the largest collections of agricultural technology in the United States. It includes farm equipment manufacturer's service and repair manuals, parts lists, and brochures for American made tractors and other types of farm machinery including stationary engines and other many vehicles. The collection was gathered by F. Hal Higgins, a California agricultural journalist, and also includes photographs, company histories, and manufacturers sales catalogs. The earliest manuals date back to 1885 with some of the brochures going back as early as 1850. Please contact me if your are interested in knowing more about the contents of the collection and if we can help you with information about your farm equipment. We also have information on foreign agricultuual equipment. Pamela S.
